I see from your statement, that if you did graduate college, it was

I see you're mistaken. I was a double major... biology and English lit.
The
former is one of the requirements for being a patent attorney.

I also see that you have no logical argument, thus your pathetic
attempt to
put me down.

Man up Bill.


You said nothing about degrees. So a patent attorney needs only a
biology degree?




You need to have a bs in order to become a patent agent. Biology
qualifies. There are very specific requirements. I also have a JD/MBA
also if that makes you feel better. Thus, I'm a patent attorney, not just
an agent. The pass rate for the exam is about 40%.

Here's a link that'll boil it down for you in steps even you can
comprehend..

I was category A with a bio degree.

When I was dealing with the patent attorney for my patent, I came to the
conclusion that patent attorney has to be one of the most boring, least
mentally stimulating endeavors a JD can get involved in.

Yes, I'm sure you came to that conclusion. All kidding aside, it actually
can be festinating work. Some patents are pretty mundane, not to diminish
them too much, but they can "solve" a problem that's a pretty small problem.
Some others, however, are really interesting, and I had an opportunity to
really use my bio degree to delve into the subject. In some cases, I was
able (as many patent professionals are capable of doing) to influence the
idea itself and certainly influence the time/effort required to get the
patent granted.

As I said somewhere else, I don't/won't work with corps any more. It wasn't
so much boring as frustrating.
